Yes, the Foundation CEO basically signed off on a PR stunt very damaging to Mozilla:

Mozilla Foundation Executive Director Mark Surman issued a statement to Ars in response to employees speaking out against Eich's hiring. "Our culture of openness extends to letting our staff and community be candid about their views on Mozilla’s direction," Surman wrote. "We're proud of that inclusiveness and how it distinguishes Mozilla from most organizations."

So, the split boards governance is a problem. Baker is the Chair and head of the project. She created the Corp CEO job and led the hiring process. She's the Chair of both Boards.

Its slightly awkward for a company to use its political activsm against itself in this way. It's even more awkward to manipulate the media to do it in public. Its even triply awkward that it was aknowleged publicly (usually indicates legal signed off on it).
